Project Status

DRI PLANT
For the overall DRI Plant, the engineering portion of the Core Plant is complete and 98 % of the structure fabrication, erection and equipment purchases have been finalized with approximately 70% of equipment purchased and delivered at site. Fabrication and construction is proceeding in earnest with the Core Plant, Water Treatment, Material Handling and associate infrastructure which have emerged on the ground and are in view.

DRI FURNACE
All piling and foundation work has been completed and second phase of the structural erection is in progress. As the fabricated steel is arriving from the fabricator (HMC in Taxila) it is being promptly put in place and bolted to the previous members.

REFORMER
All foundations are complete. Fabrication and the erection of the Reformer is in full swing.

The Lower Feed Gas Ducts and the main support structural steel frames have been installed, while the floor and roof panel installation is in progress.
Reformer area piping has been contracted out (ICC).

HEAT RECOVERY
The fabrication and erection of the boxes and the stack of the Heat Recovery are near completion and the refractory work is almost complete.

WATER TREATMENT
Foundation and the concrete bottom of the Clarifier have been completed. The Steel Shell is now in fabrication in the Central Maintenance Department (CMD) of TSML. Order has been placed for Cooling Tower, whereas construction of its foundation and Reservoir is under process. Settling Ponds have been completed.

PIPE RACKS
All pipe rack foundations are in progress and the fabrication of the structural steel has been contracted out (ABS).

FLOOR PIPING
Furnace and water complex area pipings have been contracted out (ABS).

BUILDINGS
Control Building: Construction is in progress. The ground floor and rough building structure have been completed.

Analyzer building: Construction of the rough building and roof has been completed.

ELECTRIC POWER PLANT
Layout / demarcation of the 35MW Combined Cycle Power Plant has been completed. Excavation for Gas Turbines has been started.

REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) PLANT (FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSE)
The 500 CUM/day capacity RO plant for the general site services was completed by mid-2007 and has been providing potable water for the construction activities. The water is obtained from the wells drilled for this purpose.

NG METERING STATION
The natural gas supply line has been completed by SSGC but the Metering Station by them is to be installed. However, purchase order of Metering Station for DRI (to be installed by TSML) has been placed.

CONCRETE BATCH PLANT
The Batch Plant had been completed by mid-2007 and has been fully functional and providing ready-mixed concrete to the DRI project. With the only exception of the furnace foundation where very large amount of concrete was required to make a continuous pour, the TSM Batch Plant has provided all concrete for the DRI Project and for all the general civil works.

TSM FABRICATION SHOP (CMD)
The CMD Fabrication Shop has been constructed and outfitted with Machine Shop and fabrication equipment. There is a current effort to upgrade the shop with higher production equipment to increase the quantity of steel fabrication. As a temporary step a local Pakistani fabricator has been contracted to utilize the TSM fabrication facilities and equipment. Fabrication is currently being done both by TSML and the fabrication subcontractor.

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Survey and design of 18 Km Water Supply Line have been completed. The job is in the process of being contracted out.

Design of 36000 CUM potable Water Reservoir completed. Excavation and construction by civil contractor has been undertaken.

RO PLANT (FOR DRI PLANT)
The civil design of the RO plant for the DRI Plant is now in process and the site has been cleared and ready for the start of the civil work.

Treated Water Tanks are under designing by the consultants.
